Mr. Hankins stated a banner could remain up throughout an event so long as it did not ex- ceed 6 months. Bud Walker stated he was in favor of a Sign Ordinance so long as it is fair and e~uitable. He stated he thought there were remaining issues that needed to be addressed. Patsy Greiner voiced concern on Page 12, Item 7 regarding exemption of si~ns for non"profi t organizations on City property, to change .the "and" in the last line to '.or". Buddy Mostyn asked for clarity regarding sign heights on Page 17, Item 4 regarding elevation 42-1/2 feet provision and stated he was in favor of Page 16, Item 1 provision. Ivar Gunnarson asked for clarity regarding the restructuring provision (Page 16) and stated Page 16, Item 3, regarding off-premise signs needed to be de~eted. Fe said as an example that if a convenience store was located on IH35 had signs for their business on-premise that there could not also be off-premise signs located on the same property because it would exceed what would be allowed. Roger Storey stated Page 21, 9.c. needed to be amended to allow two signs because one sign could not advertise to the access road and to the highway corridor but need to be allowed to advertise at a low and high level of traffic. He stated Page 22.e. needed to be amended to change the height of the pole sign from 25 to 30 feet because signs should Dot be allowed to be Dlaced below 9 feet because it would be a traffic hazard. He stated he would prefer Page 22.g. be amended to state 260 square feet and 150 sauare feet and not Dlay with mathematics. He stated regarding the subject of compromise, that there were no comproMises made on some issues. Frank Rich stated he thou~ht the reason why there was no provision for abandonment of off-premise signs is because they are entrepreneurial. Ee commended the Council for their thorough process of the Sign Ordinance and said the Neighborhood Association has confidence in the Council to make a decision for the good of all the City. No one else wished to speak in favor or in on~osition, so Mayor Craddock closed the public hearing. Mr. Coddington moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading and Mr. Guerra seconded the motion. Jeff Hill addressed the Council with a concern that had not been resolved in the temporary Committee negotiations of the Ordinance. On Page 16, Item 1 restructuring, Mr. Eill discussed the 480 scuare foot Drovision if in excess of 10 foot elevation: the 42~1/2 foot sign provision would apply. Ee stated the 10 foot liMitation is excessive and wants the language stricken and suggested alternative wording. r1r. Brown asked if it would be illegal to disallow new off-premise signs., and Mr. Hankins resDonded that it would not. ~1r. Brown was concerned that would affect new businesses.
